Iron biogeochemistry in Holocene palaeo and actual salt marshes in coastal areas of the Pampean Plain, Argentina
In salt marshes, the hydrodynamics and the availability of iron, organic matter and sulphate, influence the formation and/or dissolution of iron sulfides and iron oxyhydroxides. Therefore, they constitute key factors affecting the iron biogeochemical processes in these environments. The aim of this...

In salt marshes, the hydrodynamics and the availability of iron, organic matter and sulphate, influence the formation and/or dissolution of iron sulfides and iron oxyhydroxides. Therefore, they constitute key factors affecting the iron biogeochemical processes in these environments. The aim of this work is to evaluate the physico-chemical and mineralogical variations associated to iron biogeochemistry in palaeo and actual salt marshes in the area of influence of the Mar Chiquita coastal lagoon, Pampean Plain, Argentina. In soils of exhumed palaeo marshes, the iron contents are 56–95 μmol g−1, whereas these contents decrease to 36–75 μmol g−1 in actual marsh soils. The presence of framboidal and poliframboidal pyrites associated with gypsum, barite, calcite, halite and iron oxyhydroxides defines the conditions of the pedosedimentary sequences of the Holocene paleomarshes. Sequences of pyrite formation (sulfidization) and degradation (sulfuricization) were observed.
